Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes

 
Alt Shift developed and Dotemu published Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, a tactical roguelite based on the Battlestar Galactica franchise. It launched on May 11, 2026 for PC via Steam and GOG. The setting is the immediate aftermath of the Cylon annihilation of the Twelve Colonies. Scattered fleets of human survivors are struggling to stay alive. You are a Gunstar captain with one goal: survive long enough to rejoin the Battlestar Galactica.
Sobre el juego
Fleet Management and Crises
Scattered Hopes weaves three systems together into one loop. First, you manage your fleet between encounters. Fuel, supplies, crew morale, and ship condition all degrade over time. Furthermore, onboard crises erupt without warning. These demand immediate decisions that carry permanent consequences for the rest of the run.
The choices the game presents have no obvious right answer. Additionally, every decision ripples forward into later encounters. Consequently, the weight of command accumulates as the run progresses. This design mirrors the television series’ approach to leadership under impossible conditions.
Combat and the Jump Mechanic
Combat happens in real time as Cylon forces intercept your fleet. You actively manage fighters and positioning rather than waiting passively. Moreover, every battle costs resources even when you win. A damaged hull and empty fuel tank after victory can be harder to survive than a clean retreat.
The jump mechanic ties the loop together. You prepare your fleet and leap to a new sector before the Cylons close in. Additionally, the procedural narrative layer draws from a large pool of events each run. No two runs follow the same sequence. Overall, this means every attempt feels different from the last.
Características principales
Procedural Narrative with Hard Choices
The game generates unique story moments and dilemmas from a curated event pool each run. No two runs share the same sequence of events. Furthermore, consequences ripple forward rather than resolving cleanly after each choice. The accumulating weight of command is the game’s central emotional challenge. This design directly echoes the tone of the television series.
Fleet Survival Management
Managing your fleet between battles is as demanding as combat itself. Fuel determines how far you can jump. Supplies keep your crew functional, and morale affects battlefield performance. Additionally, ships and civilians can be lost permanently to attacks or resource collapse. As a result, every resource decision carries a measurable human cost throughout the run.
Real-Time Space Combat
Battles play out in real time with you commanding fighters against Cylon attackers. The scale of each fight reflects your fleet’s current condition. Furthermore, knowing when to retreat matters more than raw firepower. This reinforces the series’ theme that survival requires judgment over aggression. Overall, tactical restraint is often more valuable than winning every engagement.
Roguelite Unlocks Across Multiple Runs
Each run ends in survival or defeat, and both outcomes unlock new starting options. New fleets, equipment, and narrative branches become available over time. Furthermore, specific conditions during a run reveal story content not accessible otherwise. Therefore, the full scope of the game emerges gradually across multiple attempts rather than in a single playthrough.

Diferencia clave
Lo mejor para




FTL: Más rápido que la luz
FTL shares the core loop of fleeing a pursuing force across procedural sectors. However, it uses a single ship rather than a full fleet. Furthermore, its narrative events are shorter and less morally weighted, with no licensed universe shaping the tone.
Players who want a tighter single-ship roguelite focused on moment-to-moment tactics without a licensed narrative weight.


Battlestar Galactica Deadlock
Deadlock is a turn-based strategy game in the same franchise but focuses on individual fleet battles. It has no roguelite structure and no procedural narrative design. In contrast, Scattered Hopes builds the franchise tone into a survival-run format rather than a campaign strategy title.
Players who prefer deliberate turn-based fleet combat with a structured campaign and no run-and-restart roguelite design.


Into the Breach
Into the Breach shares the hard-choice roguelite philosophy where every decision has visible costs. However, it operates on small tactical grids with mechs rather than fleet management in space. Additionally, its tone is lighter and its narrative is minimal compared to Scattered Hopes.
Players who enjoy tight roguelite strategy with clear cost-benefit decisions and no fleet survival management layer involved.
